A piece of equipment that is designed for a particular use.

A danger associated with a substance or piece of apparatus.

The identification of both the hazards of doing a particular experiment and ways of reducing the risk of harm from those hazards.

An action taken to prevent or reduce the risk of danger or harm.

Hazard symbols and equipment

In the Electrolysis unit, pupils will build on their understanding of chemical reactions to explore the process of electrolysis and its applications.

In the Acids and Bases unit, pupils learned about the properties of acids, bases, and alkalis, and the reactions between them to form salts and water.

This unit explores empirical formulae, balanced chemical and ionic equations, gas identification, acid reactions, and pH as a measure of hydrogen ion concentration. It covers separation techniques and focuses on planning experiments, accurate measurements, safety, and communicating findings.

Why is it important to wear eye protection in the lab?

An action taken to prevent or reduce risk.

What is a precaution in a laboratory setting?

To provide safety information about chemical substances.

Substances that pose a risk of fire, explosion, or health hazard.
